Cruel Destiny

Third Person POV

The sun was shining brightly and its rays were falling through the window on a woman's face who was sleeping under the sheets.

Her beautiful face scrunched in irritation and she turned her back to avoid it.

She heard a chuckle from behind her. Her body shuddered when the person traced his finger on her naked back.

"You did that deliberately to wake me. Didn't you?" She asked him in irritation.

"You caught me" he snickered

She heard him walking toward the window then he closed the curtains making her smile.

He then came back to the bed and kissed her bareback. A moan left her lips when he trailed the kisses toward her neck.

"Wake up, Tasha" he whispered in her ear in his husky voice.

A giggle passed her lips and she quickly pressed her lips together to muffle it.

She chuckled when he turned her on her back. Her eyes were gleaming in euphoria and that was enough to make him happy.

He leaned to peck her lips and said "I love you."

She cupped his cheek and before placing her lips on his, whispered "I love you too."

He hovered over her and placed wet kisses on her neck making her tremble.

He was about to remove the sheets when he felt a strong kick making him jump.

Natasha laughed loudly when she saw his startled face. She pushed him a little and sat up slowly.

"My boy is possessive, Mr. Allen. He doesn't like to share his mom with anyone." She whispered

She heard the knock on the door and she said "Not even you. Go and open the door. It's Scar,"

He sighed sadly and got out of bed. His children had just cockblocked him.

He turned back and saw that Natasha went inside the closet quickly as fast as she could with her 7-month pregnant belly.

He smiled as he went to open the door. He unlocked it and immediately he was attacked by a cute monster.

"Good morning, Daddy" A six-year-old Scarlett hugged her father and kissed his cheek.

His heart always swelled with contentment whenever he heard her calling him 'Daddy'.

He picked her up in his arms and said "A very good morning to my goddess."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said "Where is Mumma?"

"Your Mumma went to freshen up. Come on let's get you ready. It's time for your school." Scott said and took her toward her room.

He got her ready into her school uniform and then took her toward the dining area for her breakfast.

Natasha was cooking in the kitchen and she wanted it to be done quickly so that her husband won't scold her again.



She got dressed as soon as she could and didn't even comb her hair. She just wrapped it in a messy bun.

She wanted to feed her husband and her baby girl the food which she had made.

She quickly made and told the maid to serve the food and if Scott asked then told him that she had made it.

Then she waddled toward the dining room and sat on the chair. She was breathing heavily and quickly gulped water to calm it.

After a few minutes, she heard footsteps. She instantly picked up the book from the table which she had placed earlier.

She opened it and acted like she has been reading it since the time she came here.

"Mumma," she heard his daughter scream and she stood up and turned toward her.

Just like she did with Scott earlier, she hugged her legs quickly but with precaution.

"My baby," Natasha said and caressed her brunette hair.

Scarlett looked at her with a smiling face and she pecked her belly and said "Good morning Steve. I love you."

Due to pregnancy hormones, tears filled in Natasha's eyes and she said "He loves you too, Scar."

"Come and have your breakfast. Then your father will drop you." She said

She called for the maid and she came and served all of them. Scott ate one forkful of fried eggs, he stopped and stared at her.

She just gave him an innocent look and turned her face and fed one piece of bacon to Scar.

"Tasha" he groaned

"How many times do I have to say that don't strain yourself," he said in a professional voice.

She just gave him a fake sad look and said "sorry. I just wanted to feed you both."

Even though she didn't want to, a tear fell from her eyes making him feel guilty.

He stood up and sat beside her and pleaded to her "Baby please don't cry. I am sorry"

"Can I make food for you and Scar always?" She asked him with a sad face.

"No," he said and her face fell more.

Then with a sigh, he continued "Only breakfast."

She squealed and hugged him and said "You are the best husband."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "You emotionally blackmailed me."

She just pecked his lips and he turned into a sweet kiss only to pull away when he heard 'Eww' loudly.

They looked back and saw that Scarlett's face was scrunched in revulsion and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Daddy you kissed Mumma. You gave her germs." She started to cry loudly.

"What did you tell her?" Natasha asked him angrily and patted her back to soothe her.

Scott bit his lips and said, "I might have told her that kissing leads to passing the germs then we would get sick."

"I'll talk to you later." She warned him

Then she turned to her weeping baby and said "Baby I am fine. Mumma and Daddy can kiss."

"You are not sick," she asked her mother with teary eyes.

Natasha shook her head and said "No baby. I am perfectly alright."

Then she wiped her tears and said "Okay"

After that, they had their breakfast in silence. Then Scott dropped Scarlett at her school and came back.

He saw that Natasha was not in the living room. He went to their room and laughed when he saw her.

She had a bowl of chips sitting on her bump and she was working on a Laptop.

She heard him and saw him standing at the doorway. She just looked at him then turned her attention back to her work.

Letting him know that she was angry with him. He sighed and knew what would make her happy.

He laid beside her and saw that she was looking into the presentation for the project.

He rested his head on her belly and caressed it. He moved one hand to take a bunch of chips from her bowl that's when she slapped his hand away.

"It's mine. Go and take yours." She told him angrily.

One thing he had noticed in pregnancy that she gets angry quickly.

But he wouldn't be a good husband if he didn't know how to melt her anger in seconds.

He sat up and put her legs in his lap and still she ignored him. He started to massage her foot and just like that her angry mode turned off.

She moaned when he rubbed her sore nerves. This time her pregnancy was different from the last time.

Last time she had worked throughout her pregnancy but this time, her husband never let her do any work.

A few weeks ago he had seen the swelling on her feet and he went into professional mode and asked her to stop doing any work.

That's the reason he wanted her to stop making food for them. He wanted her to rest completely.

He leaned down and bit on her cute little toe and asked "Feeling better"

She gave him a big smile and answered "Much better."
